When researching a destination, I used to trawl through guide books making a list of places to see, things to do, and where to eat. I would flag each page of interest with a coloured sticky, but books are big and heavy to carry around, especially when you are visiting multiple destinations.
Then I would have to try and find these places, let’s just say I am not good at reading a map! Sometimes half my battle would be deciding which way around to hold the darn thing!
This is where the GPSmyCity App has changed the way we travel. Using just our mobile phones, we had everything to hand when we needed it. Oh don’t you just love modern technology, and how easy it has made travelling!
This App is revolutionary, because it has done all the hard work and research for you. But how?

What is the GPSmyCity App?
GPSmyCity is a travel guide app which turns points of interest into a self-guided walking tour for you to easily follow.
Once you have downloaded the App to your mobile/cell phone, you will have your own personal tour guide, can walk at your own pace, and you will have a wealth of information at your fingertips.
Within the app is a huge library containing a plethora of travel posts and information. GPSmyCity has teamed up with hundreds of travel bloggers (just like Feet Do Travel) providing dozens of attractions in over 1000 Cities, all of which include a detailed map and route plan.
We discovered places we never would have thought of, and definitely wouldn’t have found on our own. Cat Café in Penang? A beach in the centre of Nottingham? Street Art in Singapore?

What are the walking tours?
Walking Tours are a great way of getting to know a place, however organised tours can often be too long, or too rushed.
You can create your own walking tours using the GPSmyCity App which has articles detailing sightseeing, shopping and attractions to name a few. There are a huge variety to choose from.
Walk with confidence from A to B to C, with the GPS route mapped out for you. How lovely is that? It made our lives easier put it that way!
Full disclaimer: You can use the app and read articles for free, but this doesn’t include downloading the article for offline use, GPS maps or walking tours. To use it to its full potential, you need to upgrade – but it is worth it!!
You can pay $1.99 per article downloaded however, if you travel a lot, this will quickly add up. This is where the subscription is helpful, and will save you money in the long run.
Instead of paying for each article, upgrade to the annual subscription and get a whole year’s unlimited access.

What are the benefits to me using this particular App?
- GPSmyCity uses real people’s ideas and suggestions for Cities all around the world. All the hard work is done for you, so all you have to do is choose what you would like to do.
- Every article within the App has a map to pin point your desired destination. No more searching for an address, or walking up and down random streets ever again. Oh just think of the blisters you will save on your feet.
- Never feel rushed on a walking tour again! You plan your own walking tour in the App, so you can take things at your own pace. We have been on many tours where we felt rushed, mainly because we were at the back taking photos and making notes!
- GPSmyCity App has thousands of articles across over 1000 cities. Whichever City you are visiting, there is bound to be an article and tour just for you.
- You will save money on City tours, because you will have your own personal guide in your pocket.

That’s a lot of pros, what are the cons of GPSmyCity?
There are a couple of negatives which I would like to disclose.
There are a couple of negatives which I would like to disclose.
- The app doesn’t work on an island, but the clue is in the name. It’s not called GPSMyIsland App! We lived on Gili Air, Indonesia where it didn’t work, however we had to do a lot of visa runs. When we visited places like Singapore, Chiang Mai or Penang, then we could use the app.
- Although you don’t need internet to use the app with downloaded articles and maps, you do need internet to begin with to download the required articles and GPS Maps you choose for your City. Generally, it’s not an issue and is easily fixed by finding somewhere with wi-fi.
